2010

AWARDS

Last year, Delhi Minorities Commission started a new tradition of
presenting awards to the best performers among minorities in Delhi in
various fields of human endeavour. The first awards were presented
duringthe DMCannual conference in December20i8.

The recipients of these awards are selected on the basis of
recommendations by DMC advisory and peace committees' members
and empanelled NGOs. They are also nominated on the basis of
information gathered by the DMC Chairman and Members through
media and interactions in society.

We extend our heart-felt congratulations to all the awardees as well as
to all those achievers who did well but somehow could not be included
in this year's awards. We especially loud our students who did well in
this year's High School and Higher Secondary School exams but could
not be included in this list as this year's cut-off for brilliant students was
96%+marks.
